Su Tang tilted her head at her in confusion. “Why should I cut ties with you?”
Shi Man smiled gently and personally held a spoon to blow on the cold porridge for her to eat. “Maybe it’s because I’m too stupid that I let my imagination run wild. Hurry up and eat. Mom will come to see you tonight.”
“Mom?” Su Tang obediently ate a mouthful of porridge. Her eyes were still slightly red and swollen from crying. “You mean Aunt Shen?”
“Yes.” Shi Man nodded and repeated what Shen Xian had said last night to her.
Su Tang’s face turned red as she waved her hand in a panic to reject her. “No, no, no. I didn’t do anything for you. Aunt Shen doesn’t have to be so good to me!”
“You don’t like it?” Shi Man put down the spoon and observed her expression seriously.
If she didn’t like to call others Mom, Shi Man would definitely not make things difficult for her.
Even if Su Tang did not agree with Shen Xian’s decision, it did not stop Shi Man from treating her well.
When Su Tang heard Shi Man’s words, she quickly shook her head and explained, “No, it’s not that I don’t like it. I just feel that the Shi family is not a family I can reach. I’m not worthy…”
Shi Man was stunned for a moment before her face turned cold to scare Su Tang. “Then do you think the relationship between the two of us is the same?”
“No, no. 1 really treat you as my best sister!” Su Tang was afraid that Shi Man would misunderstand if she was a second late, so she hurriedly explained to her. Her flustered appearance was especially honest and cute.
Shi Man was delighted and stopped teasing her. She smiled and said, “That’s good. Since that’s how you think of me, why don’t you agree to my mother’s suggestion? I’ll treat you like my biological sister in the future.”
“Manman…” Su Tang called her carefully.
Shi Man smiled brightly and said, “Call me Older Sister!”
Su Tang took a deep breath and mustered her courage to remind her, ’’Manman, I’m actually older than you.”
The smile on Shi Man’s face stopped abruptly. Awkwardness and shyness mixed together. Her face was immediately colorful and exciting, but there was no blood.
She endured it for a long time before barely controlling her expression. Then, she put down the bowl and said sternly, “Drink quickly. After you’re done, I’ll call the doctor to give you an injection!”
“Manman, you’re deliberately taking revenge!” Su Tang complained softly, and a trace of red finally appeared on her pale face.
Shi Man decided to ignore her for ten minutes and punish her for being naughty. She walked out of the ward with a cold expression, but she was happy that Su Tang had regained her vitality.
The smile in her eyes was almost impossible to hide, but when she saw the man standing against the wall outside the door, she suddenly restrained herself. Shi Man lowered her eyes and said coldly, “Follow me.”
She brought Yi Zheng to a quiet stairwell and asked the question in her heart with a frown, “Did you misunderstand something?”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise and said with a smile, “You know?”
“Because you’re not the only one who seems to have misunderstood.” Shi Man thought of the commotion Chen Wei had caused that day and pursed her lips speechlessly. “Thank you for your trouble. My sexual orientation is still normal. Su Tang and I are just good friends. Now, she’s my biological younger sister.”
She would never admit that Su Tang was older than her!
In her opinion, Su Tang was the archetype of a president’s delicate wife. It was more appropriate for Shi Man to be her older sister and protect her for the rest of her life.
Yi Zheng smiled and placed his hand beside her ear as he encircled her under his arm. “Who else has misunderstood like this? Huh?”
Shi Man glared at him angrily. “What does it have to do with you? Anyway, I’ve already explained it to you. Thank you for this matter. I’ll return the favor in the future.”
“Then why don’t you return it now?” Yi Zheng looked down at her calmly. His dark eyes landed on her lips, and his eyes darkened.
“Why am I returning it now?” Shi Man inexplicably felt that their current posture was too ambiguous. She moved unaccustomedly, but Yi Zheng grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
He domineeringly let her stay in the small world he had created for her. Enjoying the faint fragrance of her body around him, he said happily, “Kiss me and I’ll take it that you’ve returned it.”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes dangerously and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on her lips. Her fingers circled his tie ambiguously. “That’s it? Do you know that if you want me to return the favor, you can take the opportunity to ask for more?”
Yi Zheng suddenly held her hand that couldn’t stop causing trouble in front of his chest. His dark eyes darkened. “1 know, but I already have power. 1 don’t lack money. If I want resources, 1 have the entire black market at my disposal. 1 only want you now.”
He said it seriously. It was clearly meant to tease, but it made him sound like he had made a promise.
Shi Man was slightly stunned. She broke free from his hand and frowned. “You have to think about it carefully. The resources I can get for you would be more than what you currently control.”
He looked at Shi Man steadily without hesitation. “I said I only want you..”
